Açaí Coffee Macchiato with Vanilla-Flavored Milk and Caramel Sauce

Ingredients

1 cup of Açaí Coffee (CAPYBARA BEVERAGES)
200ml vanilla-flavored milk
1 tablespoon açaí pulp (pure or sweetened)
Caramel sauce (for garnish)
Ice cubes (optional, for the iced version)

Preparation Steps

Prepare the coffee
- Brew a strong cup of espresso and set it aside. For a milder option, you can use filtered coffee.
Warm the milk
- Heat the vanilla-flavored milk in a saucepan until warm, but do not boil. For a creamy texture, froth the milk using a milk frother.
Mix the açaí
- In a separate cup, mix the açaí pulp with the espresso until smooth.
Assemble the drink
- Pour the warm milk into a tall glass or mug.
- Slowly pour the açaí-coffee mixture over the milk to create a layered "macchiato" effect.
Finish with caramel
- Drizzle caramel sauce over the top for garnish. To add a gourmet touch, create patterns or stripes with the sauce.
For the iced version
- Fill a glass with ice before adding the liquids.

Special Tips

Extra flair: Sprinkle cinnamon or cocoa powder over the caramel for an elevated flavor.
Vegan option: Replace regular milk with almond or coconut milk with vanilla flavor.
Experiment: Swap caramel with honey or molasses for a healthier twist.
